 Trend Report 2010: Background & objective.

 The first part of the Facebook Trend Report in May 2010 investigated the Facebook activities by known brands
 with broad audiences and strong a TV presence in Germany. It was based on the top 100 advertising spenders
 on German TV in the first quarter of the year. This structured study cast a spotlight on the Facebook
 activities of these major brands.
 The key issues for the Trend Report were:
  >     Definition of benchmarks as a guide for brands relying mainly on conventional communications.
  >     Identification and typology of strategic patterns in the use of Facebook.
  >     First-time measurement of interaction quality by extending Facebook's own definition of "lightweight
        interaction" to include "mid- and heavyweight interaction".


 The surveyed objects were 26 official Facebook sites operated by the companies that were analysed for one
 week in April.

  A look back.
  Trend Report 2010: Key results.

  >    The activities of the companies were just getting under way in the spring of 2010: At that time, four out of five
       of the Fan pages had existed for less than a year.
  >    Identified were four different patterns of Facebook activity by companies:
         > Passive brands - display no activity, no significant interaction rates (every eighth page).
         > Host brands - give fans a forum; highest interaction rates (every eighth page).
         > Sender brands - Facebook as an information channel about the company (every other page).
         > Friend brands - attend intensively to their fans; highest quality of interaction (every fourth page).

  > The average interaction rate* was 4.3%, or about one in 23 of brand fans interacted with the company's Fan
      page during the period of investigation.
  > Fan activities on brand pages consisted largely (61%) of lightweight interactions ("Like").

  > Each company attracted an average of 3578 fans and gained 114 fans in one week (3.2%).

  > Around two thirds of the companies referred to their company web site in their TV commercials, but no
      direct reference to the Facebook presence was found in these advertisements.
  > Three of five companies have a reference on their web site to their official Facebook fan page.


* Interaction rate = the proportion of fans to interact with the fan page within a week by clicking on "Like", writing comments, or leaving their own wall postings (excluding spam)

 Trend Report 2011.
 One year later.

 Whereas in the spring of 2010 only about a quarter of the top-100 TV advertisers were identified as having an
 official (German-language) Facebook presence, just one year later it was evident that the world's largest social
 network had attracted a far greater proportion of those companies. Working with the same selection method, in
 April 2011 we identified that half (75) of the companies and brands serving as our basis had official fan pages, of
 which almost half (30) were less than a year old. This was based on the top 150 TV advertising spenders in the
 first quarter of the year.
 Key issues for the second Trend Report:
  •     Review and improvement of the benchmarks identified in 2010.
  •     Re-evaluation of the different strategic patterns in the use of Facebook as a communication channel.
  •     Review of the following hypotheses:
         1. Fan pages for brands and companies show declining interaction rates in 2011.
          2.   The typology of communication strategies displays a shift towards dialogue-oriented forms.
          3.   The differences in the interaction rates are industry- and size-specific.
          4.   Brands communicate their Facebook presence more frequently in other communications channels
               such as TV commercials and corporate web sites than was the case a year ago.

 Trend Report 2011.
 Main results.

 1) Typology
 > Communication patterns identified in 2010 displayed a clear shift towards the (conversational, admin-driven)
     Friend brand.
 > Along with the four identified types, a fifth was identified: the Service brand. Similar to the Friend brand, this is
     characterised by a strong dialogue orientation. In contrast, the focus is on useful dialogue aimed at problem
     solving and customer goodwill.
 > Hybrids of different types of communication have become more common.

 2) Interactions
 > The interaction rates have clearly decreased: In 2011, on average only 1.5% of fans interact with a brand
     page – compared to 4.3% in 2010.
 > The IR (interaction rate) is relatively constant for all communications types (1.2% - 2.0%), although service
     brands have a significantly greater proportion of higher-value interactions (comments, user postings).
 > Also noticeable are the differences in interaction quality between different industries.

 > There is a negative correlation between the number of fans and the interaction rates.

 > Lightweight interactions ("Like") are the dominant form of interaction.

 3) Relevance of Facebook for brand communication
 > An official German language fan page was identified for half of the top 150 TV advertising spenders in the first
     quarter of 2011.
         > However: Few brands offer a clear incentive for becoming a fan of their Facebook page.

 > The average number of fans at 25,124 has increased by a factor of seven over 2010.

 > On average each fan page recorded an increase in the number of fans of 3.7% per week.

 > Brands/companies improved the networking of their fan pages with other communication channels.

Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany

 Typology.
 Friend brands are on the up.

  Within the typology of communication patterns identified in 2010,
  there has been a clear shift towards dialogue-oriented
  strategies (Friend and Service brands).
  In the spring of 2010, more than half of the companies surveyed
  used Facebook primarily as a distribution channel for their own
  content (Sender brand).
  In 2011, the majority of company communications are "social":
  The focus is on exchange and contact. Three out of five brands
  correspond to the Friend brand type (+35%).
  One in eight fan pages was allocated to a newly identified type:
  the Service brand. This type focusses on the utility value of f​an
  dialogue.
  Accounting each for one eighth of the fan pages are the non-
  dialogical types Sender or Host brand.

Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany

 Typology.
 An example of a Passive brand.


  Passive brands have no admin-driven activity. The page
  intends to document fan loyalty to the company's brand.
  The Deutsche Bahn built up a considerable fan base with
  its "Chefticket" campaign of late 2010. After that the
  account was placed "on hold".
  After a successful test run of the new DB Twitter channel,
  current planning is to transfer an adapted form of the
  Twitter concept onto Facebook in late 2011. The
  conclusion is that the Deutsche Bahn will also follow a
  Service Brand approach on Facebook.

Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany

 Typology.
 An example of a Sender brand.


  Sender brands offer a wide range of information which is
  not specific to Facebook: Company news, campaigns,
  events, sponsorship activities, campaigns on their web
  site or on other channels.
  With information that is relevant and of interest to users,
  quite high interaction rates can be achieved. However,
  the admin makes no attempt to maintain dialogue by
  asking questions or making direct contact.
  The Postbank uses the site to publish their RSS feeds
  about product- and company news and not to enter into
  dialogue with the users. It is not possible for users to post
  to the Postbank's wall.

  With Host brands, activity on the fan

  themselves. Characteristic are
  sporadic posts on the wall by the site                              Admin input

  With BMW, input on the Wall is limited
  and instead tabs contain information
  on current events, competitions,
  pictures, videos, etc. The extremely
  high brand involvement by BMW fans
  results in a lively discussion from the
                                                                                         BMW fans post

 Service brands are the mid- and heavyweight interaction champions.


 Regarding the frequency of fan interaction, there are no big
 differences between the various types of active
 communication. Interaction rates for all strategies show a
 relatively narrow span of 1.2 to 2.0 percent.
 The dialogue-oriented Service brands achieve the highest
 interaction rates and the largest proportion of higher quality
 interactions (mid-and heavyweight interactions).
 Friend brands and Host brands achieve average
 interaction rates, with a greater proportion of higher quality
 interactions for Friend brands than for Host brands.
 The lowest interaction rates are experienced on average by
 the Sender brands.
 Lightweight interactions are overall the most dominant form
 of interaction. The exception here are the Service brands.

 Interactions.
 Interaction rate by size cluster.


 To further differentiate the picture of average interaction rates, a further step was taken whereby – for all of the
 pages and for the different communicative orientations – the size of the fan page was accounted for.
 The aim here was to find out whether there is a (negative) correlation between a growing number of fans and the
 level of interaction.
 We divided the fan pages into the following clusters:
        •     0 – 1500 fans
        •     1,501 – 5,000 fans
        •     5,001 – 10,000 fans
        •     10,001 – 25,000 fans
        •     25,001 – 50,000 fans
        •     50,001 – 100,000 fans
        •     > 100,000 fans

Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany

 Interactions.
 Increasing fan numbers reduce the interaction rate.


 The number of fans and the interaction rate have a
 negative correlation.
 The average IR for all size clusters was 1.5%.
 Noticeably, the IR for the third size cluster (5,001 –
 10,000) exceeded that of the preceding cluster and had
 the peak value of 2.2 %.
 Possible reasons for the decrease in IR across the
 clusters:
  Once a critical number of fans has been reached, the
    one-to-one communication typical of social media
    reverts to a conventional one-to-many
    communication, with a correspondingly low IR.
  All size clusters displayed a move in interaction away
    from the wall and towards the companies' own
    applications.

 Interactions.
 Car makers are most successful at activating their fans.

 Along with the size-cluster correlation, we also
 examined the fan pages by industry. We surveyed the
 industries FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods),
 telecommunications, automotive, finance/insurance and
 miscellaneous.
 The highest average IR by industry was achieved by
 the car makers (2.3%, and the lowest by FMCGs
 (1.1%).
 The IR for the branches FMGC, telecommunications
 and finance/insurance were in the quite narrow range
 of 1.1% to 1.7%.
 Considering the differences by industry, FMCGs have a
 lower level of engagement by fans in social networking
 than car makers do. It would appear that brand loyalty
 transfers better to social media for car makers than for
 FMCGs. With "fast movers", an (assumed) brand
 loyalty does not automatically diffuse to the social
 media.

 Hypothesis testing.

  1.    The communication strategies common in 2010 showed falling interaction rates in 2011.
       The hypothesis was confirmed. The interaction rates of 2010 could not be matched in the current survey
       period. Only four fan pages were able to exceed the average IR of the previous year. It is increasingly difficult
       for companies to motivate their fans to actively use the wall with the content on offer. Apart from the increase
       in the number of fan pages vying for the attention of Facebook users, a shift in activity from the wall to
       (campaign) tabs could be a reason for the dwindling wall activity by the fans. It can also be assumed that the
       proportion of committed fans (early adopters, brand ambassadors) decreases with an increasing overall
       number of fans, which results in decreasing IRs.


  2.    The typology of communication strategies displays a shift to the dialogue-oriented forms.
       Brand and company activities with Facebook in 2011 rely far more on dialogue than in the previous year.
       Facebook is increasingly being seen as a social medium. Pure information distribution strategies, as pursued
       by more than half of the companies in 2010, have become rare today. Passive fan pages, apparently for the
       one-time only statement of brand loyalty, are practically extinct. The dialogue taking place in 2011
       increasingly offers utility value. This is supported by the Service brand strategy, which accounts for one in
       eight of the surveyed Fan pages—a type that could not be identified a year ago.

Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany

 Hypothesis testing.

  3.    The differences in the interaction rates are industry- and size-specific.
       The average IR can vary significantly between the surveyed industries. FMCGs and finance/insurance
       showed the lowest IR of 1.1% and 1.4% respectively. Only one of the top five brands (Burger King) with the
       highest interaction rates belongs to these sectors. Almost twice the interaction rate (2.3%) was achieved by
       car makers. Ford reached the second, and Renault the fifth highest rates for all companies.
       The number of fans and the interaction rate have a negative correlation: With an increasing number of fans,
       the level of interaction decreases. However, this only applies with upwards of 10,000 fans.


  4.   Brands communicate their Facebook presence more often in other communications channels such
       as TV commercials and corporate web sites than was the case a year ago.
       Companies facilitate the inter-media audience flow from TV ads to the social web more than in the previous
       year. References in TV commercials to the company web site, the (prominent) integration of the fan page
       there, and the integration of functions are more frequent than in 2010. Just three of the 75 surveyed brands
       made reference to the fan page in their TV commercials.

 Appendix.
 Typology criteria.


 Passive brands: No admin posts, no response to user posts in the survey period, focus on one-off statement of
 brand/company loyalty (activity level: "Statement")
 Sender brands: Fan page as a push channel for (corporate) information such as press releases, company blog
 as RSS import or product information, regular admin posts but no interactive or dialogic elements (activity level:
 "Commitment", sometimes "Interaction")

 Host brands: Activities on the fan page largely left to the fans, sporadic posts without animation to enter dialogue
 with operators, fans use the page to promote themselves and discuss with other fans, high involvement as a
 prerequisite (activity level: "Commitment")
 Friend brands: Admin-driven, individual fan dialogue with information, promotions, competitions, and
 communication beyond product specifics (activity level: "Interaction" + "Commitment").

 Service brands: Active complaints management, large number of contact options (wall, contact form, forums),
 rapid response to user posts and comments

  • 5. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany A look back. Trend Report 2010: Background & objective. The first part of the Facebook Trend Report in May 2010 investigated the Facebook activities by known brands with broad audiences and strong a TV presence in Germany. It was based on the top 100 advertising spenders on German TV in the first quarter of the year. This structured study cast a spotlight on the Facebook activities of these major brands. The key issues for the Trend Report were: > Definition of benchmarks as a guide for brands relying mainly on conventional communications. > Identification and typology of strategic patterns in the use of Facebook. > First-time measurement of interaction quality by extending Facebook's own definition of "lightweight interaction" to include "mid- and heavyweight interaction". The surveyed objects were 26 official Facebook sites operated by the companies that were analysed for one week in April.

  • 6. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany A look back. Trend Report 2010: Key results. > The activities of the companies were just getting under way in the spring of 2010: At that time, four out of five of the Fan pages had existed for less than a year. > Identified were four different patterns of Facebook activity by companies: > Passive brands - display no activity, no significant interaction rates (every eighth page). > Host brands - give fans a forum; highest interaction rates (every eighth page). > Sender brands - Facebook as an information channel about the company (every other page). > Friend brands - attend intensively to their fans; highest quality of interaction (every fourth page). > The average interaction rate* was 4.3%, or about one in 23 of brand fans interacted with the company's Fan page during the period of investigation. > Fan activities on brand pages consisted largely (61%) of lightweight interactions ("Like"). > Each company attracted an average of 3578 fans and gained 114 fans in one week (3.2%). > Around two thirds of the companies referred to their company web site in their TV commercials, but no direct reference to the Facebook presence was found in these advertisements. > Three of five companies have a reference on their web site to their official Facebook fan page. * Interaction rate = the proportion of fans to interact with the fan page within a week by clicking on "Like", writing comments, or leaving their own wall postings (excluding spam) reported by supported by 6
  • 7. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Trend Report 2011. One year later. Whereas in the spring of 2010 only about a quarter of the top-100 TV advertisers were identified as having an official (German-language) Facebook presence, just one year later it was evident that the world's largest social network had attracted a far greater proportion of those companies. Working with the same selection method, in April 2011 we identified that half (75) of the companies and brands serving as our basis had official fan pages, of which almost half (30) were less than a year old. This was based on the top 150 TV advertising spenders in the first quarter of the year. Key issues for the second Trend Report: • Review and improvement of the benchmarks identified in 2010. • Re-evaluation of the different strategic patterns in the use of Facebook as a communication channel. • Review of the following hypotheses: 1. Fan pages for brands and companies show declining interaction rates in 2011. 2. The typology of communication strategies displays a shift towards dialogue-oriented forms. 3. The differences in the interaction rates are industry- and size-specific. 4. Brands communicate their Facebook presence more frequently in other communications channels such as TV commercials and corporate web sites than was the case a year ago. reported by supported by 7
  • 8. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Trend Report 2011. Basic data: The Facebook activities of 75 brands in April 2011. Monday, 11/04/2011, 00:00 .......................

Sunday, 01/05/2011, 23:59 with an active, official German-language Facebook profile. Media companies were excluded in order to Brands from the top 150 TV advertisers (Q1/11) with an official German Facebook page (media companies excluded): minimize the (statistical) outliers. 1 & 1 Alice Aperol Axe BASE Bitburger BMW Brown Burger King Over the calendar weeks 15 and 17, 2011 from Check24 Citroen Coca-Cola, Commerzbank Congstar Cortal Consors Monday 00:00h to Sunday 23:59h, data was gathered about all of the generated content and THE German Railways German Telekom Dove Dove Men + Care activity on the Walls of the 75 Facebook profiles.

  • 9. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Trend Report 2011. Main results. 1) Typology > Communication patterns identified in 2010 displayed a clear shift towards the (conversational, admin-driven) Friend brand. > Along with the four identified types, a fifth was identified: the Service brand. Similar to the Friend brand, this is characterised by a strong dialogue orientation. In contrast, the focus is on useful dialogue aimed at problem solving and customer goodwill. > Hybrids of different types of communication have become more common. 2) Interactions > The interaction rates have clearly decreased: In 2011, on average only 1.5% of fans interact with a brand page – compared to 4.3% in 2010. > The IR (interaction rate) is relatively constant for all communications types (1.2% - 2.0%), although service brands have a significantly greater proportion of higher-value interactions (comments, user postings). > Also noticeable are the differences in interaction quality between different industries. > There is a negative correlation between the number of fans and the interaction rates. > Lightweight interactions ("Like") are the dominant form of interaction. reported by supported by 9
  • 10. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Trend Report 2011. Main results. 3) Relevance of Facebook for brand communication > An official German language fan page was identified for half of the top 150 TV advertising spenders in the first quarter of 2011. > However: Few brands offer a clear incentive for becoming a fan of their Facebook page. > The average number of fans at 25,124 has increased by a factor of seven over 2010. > On average each fan page recorded an increase in the number of fans of 3.7% per week. > Brands/companies improved the networking of their fan pages with other communication channels. reported by supported by 10

  • 12. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Typology. Friend brands are on the up. Within the typology of communication patterns identified in 2010, there has been a clear shift towards dialogue-oriented strategies (Friend and Service brands). In the spring of 2010, more than half of the companies surveyed used Facebook primarily as a distribution channel for their own content (Sender brand). In 2011, the majority of company communications are "social": The focus is on exchange and contact. Three out of five brands correspond to the Friend brand type (+35%). One in eight fan pages was allocated to a newly identified type: the Service brand. This type focusses on the utility value of f​an dialogue. Accounting each for one eighth of the fan pages are the non- dialogical types Sender or Host brand. reported by supported by 12
  • 13. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Typology. An example of a Passive brand. Passive brands have no admin-driven activity. The page intends to document fan loyalty to the company's brand. The Deutsche Bahn built up a considerable fan base with its "Chefticket" campaign of late 2010. After that the account was placed "on hold". After a successful test run of the new DB Twitter channel, current planning is to transfer an adapted form of the Twitter concept onto Facebook in late 2011. The conclusion is that the Deutsche Bahn will also follow a Service Brand approach on Facebook. No No admin interaction activity reported by supported by 13
  • 14. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Typology. An example of a Sender brand. Sender brands offer a wide range of information which is not specific to Facebook: Company news, campaigns, events, sponsorship activities, campaigns on their web site or on other channels. With information that is relevant and of interest to users, quite high interaction rates can be achieved. However, the admin makes no attempt to maintain dialogue by asking questions or making direct contact. The Postbank uses the site to publish their RSS feeds about product- and company news and not to enter into dialogue with the users. It is not possible for users to post to the Postbank's wall.

Regarding the frequency of fan interaction, there are no big differences between the various types of active communication. Interaction rates for all strategies show a relatively narrow span of 1.2 to 2.0 percent. The dialogue-oriented Service brands achieve the highest interaction rates and the largest proportion of higher quality interactions (mid-and heavyweight interactions). Friend brands and Host brands achieve average interaction rates, with a greater proportion of higher quality interactions for Friend brands than for Host brands. The lowest interaction rates are experienced on average by the Sender brands. Lightweight interactions are overall the most dominant form of interaction. The exception here are the Service brands. reported by supported by 21
  • 22. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Interactions. Interaction rate by size cluster. To further differentiate the picture of average interaction rates, a further step was taken whereby – for all of the pages and for the different communicative orientations – the size of the fan page was accounted for. The aim here was to find out whether there is a (negative) correlation between a growing number of fans and the level of interaction. We divided the fan pages into the following clusters: • 0 – 1500 fans • 1,501 – 5,000 fans • 5,001 – 10,000 fans • 10,001 – 25,000 fans • 25,001 – 50,000 fans • 50,001 – 100,000 fans • > 100,000 fans reported by supported by 22
  • 23. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Interactions. Increasing fan numbers reduce the interaction rate. The number of fans and the interaction rate have a negative correlation. The average IR for all size clusters was 1.5%. Noticeably, the IR for the third size cluster (5,001 – 10,000) exceeded that of the preceding cluster and had the peak value of 2.2 %. Possible reasons for the decrease in IR across the clusters:  Once a critical number of fans has been reached, the one-to-one communication typical of social media reverts to a conventional one-to-many communication, with a correspondingly low IR.  All size clusters displayed a move in interaction away from the wall and towards the companies' own applications. reported by supported by 23
  • 24. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Interactions. Car makers are most successful at activating their fans. Along with the size-cluster correlation, we also examined the fan pages by industry. We surveyed the industries FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods), telecommunications, automotive, finance/insurance and miscellaneous. The highest average IR by industry was achieved by the car makers (2.3%, and the lowest by FMCGs (1.1%). The IR for the branches FMGC, telecommunications and finance/insurance were in the quite narrow range of 1.1% to 1.7%. Considering the differences by industry, FMCGs have a lower level of engagement by fans in social networking than car makers do. It would appear that brand loyalty transfers better to social media for car makers than for FMCGs. With "fast movers", an (assumed) brand loyalty does not automatically diffuse to the social media. reported by supported by 24

  • 27. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Hypothesis testing. 1. The communication strategies common in 2010 showed falling interaction rates in 2011. The hypothesis was confirmed. The interaction rates of 2010 could not be matched in the current survey period. Only four fan pages were able to exceed the average IR of the previous year. It is increasingly difficult for companies to motivate their fans to actively use the wall with the content on offer. Apart from the increase in the number of fan pages vying for the attention of Facebook users, a shift in activity from the wall to (campaign) tabs could be a reason for the dwindling wall activity by the fans. It can also be assumed that the proportion of committed fans (early adopters, brand ambassadors) decreases with an increasing overall number of fans, which results in decreasing IRs. 2. The typology of communication strategies displays a shift to the dialogue-oriented forms. Brand and company activities with Facebook in 2011 rely far more on dialogue than in the previous year. Facebook is increasingly being seen as a social medium. Pure information distribution strategies, as pursued by more than half of the companies in 2010, have become rare today. Passive fan pages, apparently for the one-time only statement of brand loyalty, are practically extinct. The dialogue taking place in 2011 increasingly offers utility value. This is supported by the Service brand strategy, which accounts for one in eight of the surveyed Fan pages—a type that could not be identified a year ago. reported by supported by 27
  • 28. Trend Report July 2011: Facebook, Brands & TV in Germany Hypothesis testing. 3. The differences in the interaction rates are industry- and size-specific. The average IR can vary significantly between the surveyed industries. FMCGs and finance/insurance showed the lowest IR of 1.1% and 1.4% respectively. Only one of the top five brands (Burger King) with the highest interaction rates belongs to these sectors. Almost twice the interaction rate (2.3%) was achieved by car makers. Ford reached the second, and Renault the fifth highest rates for all companies. The number of fans and the interaction rate have a negative correlation: With an increasing number of fans, the level of interaction decreases. However, this only applies with upwards of 10,000 fans. 4. Brands communicate their Facebook presence more often in other communications channels such as TV commercials and corporate web sites than was the case a year ago. Companies facilitate the inter-media audience flow from TV ads to the social web more than in the previous year. References in TV commercials to the company web site, the (prominent) integration of the fan page there, and the integration of functions are more frequent than in 2010. Just three of the 75 surveyed brands made reference to the fan page in their TV commercials. reported by supported by 28
